The question is:

What do you do to fight writer's block?

Procrastinate!! Can't think of what to write right now? That's ok! It's not due for 2 weeks, go play some videogames! The words will come to you when the time is right. For me, the right time was usually the night before the assignment was due :D

Back when I was in college (graduated last spring), I physically could not write any assignment earlier than the night before. I just couldn't do it. The temptation to procrastinate was always too strong. Even if I had nothing better to do and I sat myself down at a computer with the mindset that it's time to write, I would last 15 minutes tops before either getting up and leaving or distracting myself through the internet. I pulled an all-nighter on every major assignment my senior year. I'd take a Pepsi and some munchies to the computer lab, sit down, and let the creative juices flow all night, taking an occassional break to use the restroom.

I even managed to get good grades too :D


My advice is probably not the best you'll read on this topic...
